4 week post op major gas

[MegaK8 1]

I’m 4 weeks post op and everything is going great except I can’t live with this gas. It’s almost constant, I walk about 10K steps a day sometimes more, I don’t eat gassy foods. It settles mostly in my back and shoulders. When it’s bad I’m burping but it only releaves me for a moment. I just started a probiotic to see if that helps. Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions?

My doctor told me to stop dairy intake if I get too gassy. But for you to be feeling it in your back and shoulders...I'd call the doctor.

Have you tried stretching and breathing exercises on waking up each day?

It might help.

I have, thanks though. Been drinking mint too as well as ginger which does help a little but not for long 😩

Desert girl, thanks I have my follow up Monday. Haven’t been doing much dairy, mostly chicken salad to be honest. My Protein Shakes are lemon ice tea (which are amazing btw)

Lemon ice tea? I'm assuming it's ice tea with unflavored Protein Powder?

No it’s a Protein powder by Nector lemon ice tea flavor
